<br>SCOPE
<br>
<br>The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier
European software architecture conference, providing researchers,
practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the
most recent, innovative and significant findings and experiences in the
field of software architecture research and practice. The conference
will feature a research track, an industrial track, an education and
training track, keynotes, workshops, tutorials, tool and demonstrations,
and panels.
<br>
<br>TOPICS
<br>
<br>The program committee of ECSA 2015 seeks submissions of papers
describing basic and applied research, novel applications and experience
reports on all topics related to software architectures including, but
not limited to:
<br>
<br>- Foundational principles of software architecture
<br>
<br>- Linking requirements engineering and software architectures
<br>
<br>- Quality attributes and software architectures
<br>
<br>- Architectural design, analysis and evaluation
<br>
<br>- Architecture description languages and meta-models
<br>
<br>- Architecture verification and validation
<br>
<br>- Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and rationale

<br>
<br>- Architecture refactoring and reengineering, reverse engineering
<br>
<br>- Architecture-based evolution
<br>
<br>- Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems
<br>
<br>- Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web services,
<br>
<br>- Architectures for ultra-large scale, long-lived systems and
systems-of-systems
<br>
<br>- Software architecture and the cloud
<br>
<br>- Software architecture and big data
<br>
<br>- Software architecture and virtualization

<br>- Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software
engineering
<br>
<br>- Industrial applications, case studies, best practices and experience
reports
<br>
<br>- Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews and mapping studies
in software architecture.
<br>
<br>SUBMISSIONS
<br>
<br>ECSA 2015 seeks three types of submissions to foster the active
participation of researchers and practitioners:
<br>
<br>- Full research papers and Experience papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS
style) that describe novel contributions to software architecture
research (submissions should cover work that has a sound
scientific/technological basis and has been validated).
<br>
<br>- Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) that present promising
preliminary results from work-in-progress or research challenges in a
topic of software architecture research (submissions should cover work
that has a sound basis, but perhaps has not been validated in full).
<br>
<br>- Education and Training papers (max. 12 pages in LNCS style) that
address challenges and best practices in in teaching and training of
software architecture, such as methods, project management, and
academia-industry collaborations.
<br>
<br>All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer review process, and be
selected based on originality, quality, soundness and relevance. All
accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series. In addition, authors of best papers will be invited to submit
extended versions of their papers for a special Issue on “New Frontiers
in Software Architecture” in the Journal on Systems and Software.
<br>
<br>The submissions should be prepared using the Springer LNCS style and
submitted via EasyChair here:
